Yes, we would let them infuse longer if not in the sun (rather than applying heat) — it’s best to decide if the infusion is strong enough based on the darkness of the color and the strength of the flavor. We recommend tasting after the first few days and then allowing to infuse longer if you don’t think the tea flavor is strong enough yet.

Mon, 16 Oct 2017 13:29:13 +0000http://piedmontpicnic.com/?p=116#comment-19427Hi.
If you’re not in a very sunny place, should you leave your leaves and blossoms to infuse for longer? If so, how much? Or would heating be a suitable alternative?

Mon, 01 May 2017 20:06:02 +0000http://piedmontpicnic.com/?p=377#comment-17385Thanks for reading! We find the wild carrot is not as sweet/tender as a cultivated carrot, but — if you catch it in the cool weather, in soft, moist soil, before it begins to bolt at all — it is not bitter at all and can be quite sweet!

I’ve read that prior to cultivation, wild carrot was bitter and fed primarily to bovine, but I didn’t really see any mention of sweetness in your post.
Care to comment?

Fri, 21 Apr 2017 16:48:37 +0000http://piedmontpicnic.com/?p=689#comment-17266Strange! They are just finishing blooming here now, but you may find a few stragglers in dappled shade areas. They do bloom more in full sun, but will often still bloom some in shadier areas. Keep an eye out for moist, sunny yards in early spring – they can really take over a yard if someone lets them (which I do). I think we’ve seen a lot in the Walnut Creek Wetlands area of the greenway – if you want to check there! 🙂

Send me an email at cynthia.lincoln@naturalsciences.org and we can chat more about doing a foraging class at the Museum. We’re pretty booked for the spring (as I’m sure you are), but might be able to fit a class in during the summer.
